According to Sulfur, the IUPAC accepted spelling of sulfur should be with an 'f' and not 'ph'. As this is the convention then it should be followed in this article. --Artorius 13:22, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Hypo-eliminator
I'm reading-and-wikifying Trent's Last Case for Wikisource right now, and have come across one part in which Trent refers in a photographical context to "hypo-eliminator."
- 'That is called hypo-eliminator,' said Trent, as Mr Cupples uncorked and smelt at one of the bottles. 'Very useful when you're in a hurry with a negative. I shouldn't drink it, though, all the same. It eliminates sodium hypophosphite, but I shouldn't wonder if it would eliminate human beings too.'
I gather that this is likely not sodium thiosulfate, but something else entirely. Does anyone versed in photography circa 1913 have any idea what it might be? --Quuxplusone 17:24, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Chlorine eliminator
How about mentioning sodium thiosulfate's use for removing chlorine from water, important for those keeping fish in aquariums (and how this works). Gary 11:49, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Safety of sodium thiosulfate in swimming pools; signs & symptoms of overuse
My son is a member of the high school swim team. The school uses this product in the pool. This year, many members of the team have experienced thinning hair with loss of hair color, loss of hair to body, red, dry skin, respiratory illness and asthma-like symptoms, nausea, gastric reflux and malaise. Any comments? Info? Thank you for your input. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.14.225.176 (talk) 03:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC).
- Sounds nasty, but no need to shout it. Do you have reason to associate the symptoms with the chemical? Dicklyon 03:37, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] More info forth coming
I intend on adding the reactions of Sodium thiosulfate can be used to determine oxygen content of water. It has to do with iodine.LoyalSoldier 06:17, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
